New research out today is written up in The Guardian!
We show that the basis of super-recognisers advantage for face recognition is not just about looking everywhere – it’s about looking smarter, at more useful information for identification.

What is the representation underlying cognition? Formal models rely on multidimensional scaling of similarity judgments to derive the representation. In this preprint with @mdlbayes.bsky.social, we take an alternative approach; we build Bayesian generative models for three cognitive tasks. /1
